Every weekday morning I get up at 5:30am and turn the local NBC news. At 6:00am, the channel being displayed on the TV changes to another channel without any warning or "going to record a suggestion" message. Sometimes it changes to Showtime or AMC, it seems random.

Even stranger is if I press the INFO button after it has changed to this seemingly random station, the info screen indicates the TiVo is still on the local NBC station showing the news.

A simple channel up and then channel down via the remote changes the display back to the local NBC news.

Any ideas why or how to eliminate this from happening every morning?

This is on a 2-tuner Premiere.

Thanks.

Do you have a tuning adapter? I think that could cause such a problem, but I have no idea what you could do about it. I don't even know whether the problem would likely be in the TiVo's software or the TA's firmware or the cable company's head-end equipment or maybe even your cable card. But when in doubt, blame the cable company.

I am an installer and had problems with ir devices changing randomly, are there any florescent lights in the room? Florescent lights can mimic ir and change your channel. I rarely find them in a home but commercially there abundant. good Luck.

I just posted in a different thread about a very similar problem.
I record a morning news program every morning, and right as it ends the recording, the channel changes, but the Info still says I'm on the channel I was recording.
So one minute it's on ABC recording, finishes the recording, and *POOF* I'm watching PBS... even though the Tivo still says it's on ABC.
I check the info on both tuners and neither says its on PBS.
I am receiving a basic cable feed from a direct coaxial plug-in... no tuning adapter or anything.
I think Premieres are possessed!

I have been having this problem ever since the last update. I know a couple other people that are having the problem also. I have also noticed that the channel it *POOF*'s to is not always a live channel. (Meaning that if you switch to that channel the movie that was playing is not actually what is currently on that channel. It is showing something that was on that channel at a earlier time). I was going to try removing my tuning adapter but since you say you don't have one I doubt that will help. I have been debating weather to call Tivo and report it to make sure they know about the problem as I have not seen it mentioned here on the forums. So I figured not very many people are having the problem. It happens to me almost daily.

I've had similar things happen, where the channel being viewed isn't the one the Tivo thinks its tuned to. The Time-Warner head-end has apparently changed the SDV stream from under it to something else. Changing channels and back fixes it as the TA makes a new request to the head-end. Perhaps coincidentally, the Tivo usually thinks its tuned to my local NBC station
